Main Beneficiaries
The Ministry of Labour and Social Development (MoLSD), through its following implementation units:
- The Supreme Council for Vocational Training and Apprenticeship (SCVTA).
- The Commission for Social Safety and Poverty Reduction (CSSPR).
- The Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC).
Other MoLSD agencies significantly contributing to the project:
- The General Directorate for Women and Family Affairs (GDWFA).
- The General Directorate for Employment Policies (GDEP).
Purpose and Objective of the Training
The recent merger (2019) of the former Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Social Security and Development brought together the Supreme Council for Vocational Training and Apprenticeship (SCVTA), the Commission for Social Safety and Poverty Reduction (CSSPR), the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), the General Directorate for Women and Family Affairs (GDWFA) and the General Directorate for Employment Policies (GDEP) among others, all under the unified leadership of the Ministry of Labour and Social Development (MoLSD). This presents a golden opportunity for MoLSD to better facilitate the collaboration of these agencies in order to generate a collective and integrated approach to vulnerable people assistance, including IDPs and refugees assistance, which can ensure their self-reliance and resilience; and can bring about more durable solutions through supporting their socioeconomic integration with host communities.
The overarching goal is to economically empower IDP and refugee women and men in Sudan among their host communities by improving their ability to find employment or establish and grow their businesses through expanding and improving market oriented, equitable and gender-balanced Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
Expected Outputs
- Staff of MoLAR, primarily SCVTA capacitated in the area of strategic planning, partnership, project design and monitoring, risk management, and communication and networking
- A multi-stakeholder platform on national level aimed and able to support and implement an integrated approach to refugee assistance, representing stakeholders in the training and education sectors, the labour market, industry, agriculture and rural development, public administration and humanitarian aid sector;
- Shared opinions on the transition towards an increasingly integrated approach to IDP/refugee assistance, including an explicit focus on (TVET) education and employability
- A framework (educational and organizational) for Agricultural vocational curricula that respond to needs, capacity and context of IDP/refugees, in particular youth and women.
- An ICT driven agripreneurship training course for young refugees and host communities developed and piloted
- An ICT information system/ platform/communication center available for IDPs/refugees to support easy access to information and resources related to TVET, and the entrepreneurship training course developed
- Dissemination of lessons learned and materials developed to implementation partners, community members and representatives.

“At the heart of Tuti resident’s collective action is the Sudanese cultural tradition of Nafir and a spriti of solidarity an generosity towards others. What is also remarkable is the sense of Nafir present in the team itself.”

“By studying in depth and highlighting the dynamics and properties of the historically-embedded and community-owned Sudanese flood Early Warning System, the ‘Taya’ system of Tuti Island, SUDTT has managed to give prominence to the importance of traditional disaster risk reduction (DRR) mechanisms in community-based climate resilience efforts. Notably, this has been undertaken by SUDTT in a way that has galvanized the attention of the rapidly growing global community of climate adaptation, climate resilience, and climate DRR experts.”

“With appropriate funding and support, this project could amplify the utilization of indigenous practices and experiences for the benefit of numerous other similar communities.”

“I can’t express enough how proud I am of this team of professionals, and how much I admire their dedication and resolution, together with the commitment of the local community members in Tuti Island, who joined forces to face the very adverse situation and continue preserving and using their traditional knowledge to increase their own resilience.”

“A standout feature of the HEART project is its comprehensive engagement across all levels of stakeholders—from grassroots participants to policymakers at local, national, regional, and international tiers.”
